Adding an Alternate Approver

---

This article explains how to add an Alternate Approver to a prior approval form. If the designated approver (e.g., Chair, Dean) is unavailable to process forms due to vacation or other reasons, you can assign an alternate approver. Once selected, the form will be routed directly to the alternate approver instead of the primary approver for the department or unit.

To add an alternate approver: 

1. Go to the Action section of the form (bottom of the form) and click on the Add Alternate Approver button. 
2. Select an alternate approver from the drop-down menu and then click the Add button.
3. The alternate approver is added to the form. You can remove them by clicking on the Remove button.
